Ugh. Detention. It’s not all roses and breakfast clubs. Unfortunately, Cleo’s going to be in there for a while while I take a break for the holidays. Not too long though. Cleopatra in Space will return January 10th. Until then, everyone have a very Merry Christmas and a radical time of a New Year’s Eve!
And don’t forget to vote for Cleopatra In Space at Top Webcomics once a day. Preferably after a full meal.
Akila’s chemistry face is awesome. And in the last panel, Cleo is clearly gonna make someone PAY. (Poor Xerx never knew what hit ‘em…)
Oh, you know it! =)
Love the Benday Dot background in that last panel!
Hehe how come my fav panels are always the ones closing your pages?^^
Oh nooooo! Poor Cleo has to spend ALL of the Holiday Break in DETENTION! Maaaaaan.
Happy Holidays Mike and all your readers!
I recently finished watching the Showtimes series ROME, and the difference between the Cleopatra in that show and our space heroine here is truly profound. Although I must admit that the thought of Cleo blasting the invading Romans with a laser pistol is appealing.
Well I guess it sucks to be you Cleo! Can’t a certain Kitty step in and get her out?
Well Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Awww man that sucks.
Last panel is awesome sauce. :3
When she´s already that cute when she´s crumpy how cute can she get once she smiles and blushes at the same time? XD
Voted for ya comic ofc. ;)
Enjoy your Holiday break. Thanks for all the great comics.
Merry Christmas.
Christmas break. At least she’s got something to read. Or make paper planes from.

… the “kitty” put her in there! (I don’t suspect he’d take kindly to being called “kitty” either!)
Happy Holidays :D, I hope they serve christmas dinner in detention…:0
thanks so much, everyone! really glad that last panel went over well. i was afraid the halftone was going to be too much or distracting. you’re comments always make my day. :)
@crowbar- yeah, my Cleo is definitely different. you have to remember, in Cleopatra in Spaaace, Cleo is still very much a teenager in addition to being taken away from the people, scenarios and environment that helped shape her into the Cleopatra we know from history (or Rome). but we will see more of the less um… adult aspects of her personality develop as the comic progresses.
Fun comic Mike. Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
ah, the sweet, sweet impatience of youth
I don’t know if we asked this, but I’m asking it anyway.
Could Cleopatra be the reincarnation of our Earth’s Queen Cleopatra? I know you mentioned that this comic is different from what we historically know, but I’d like to think that this Cleo is in some way connected to the historical Cleo.
@HardWearJunkie – not a reincarnation. the one and the same.
Ah, Detention! The threat of having that on your permanent record! If it was true I know a lot of my classmates are probably in a lot of trouble from their early adventures.
And so marks the longest detention known to man, errr, future man/creature. I hope you had a great Christmas break! Love the panels this week.
This looks like a relatively tame detention…. The one time in my life I ever had detention, I got the joy of getting up early on a Saturday to come into school to spend two hours raking leaves out of the mud. That was fun. >>
